Featured Project

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

This year I thought I'd try something new - I made a couple of extra projects that I think are really cool, and entered them in to the Weber County Fair. It was actually a little stressful for me. Your lay person usually doesn't notice the mistakes or flaws that I, as a woodturner do. Woodturners who see my work at the Farmers Market are too polite to be critical of my work. This was really the first time I put my work up to be objectively judged. Turns out I wasn't disappointed - all three of my entries received first place, blue-ribbon awards: The segmented bowl set, segmented Americana pen and letter opener set, and the segmented pepper mill and salt shaker set.

It was a huge honor for me to see my pepper mill and salt shaker figuratively and literally on the same level as a set by Bert Hamblin, a well known and accomplished local turner of pepper and salt mills who I've admired and been inspired by for a long time. See more of his work here.

So, as my sister-in-law and my wife said, I'm an award winning woodturner now. And of course, if you're interested, these award winning items are still for sale. Thanks!
